Well I finally Had a day at the range to test my loads for my 223 using a 68Gr Hornaday Amax instead of my goto 55gr Amax. Groups closed up nicely around 24-24.5gr of Varget. I'm happy with the preliminary results for the 68gr Also tried 75 gr Amax and she definitely didn't like them at all!

I had purchased a bulk quantity of Midways Dogtown 55gr HP flat bottom bullets to try out cause the price is hard to beat! Without any load development I selected 26gr of Varget which is my goto 55gr Amax recipe! I am pleased to report the Dogtown's did better than expected.

The Meplat of the bullets look a bit rough but I wouldn't hesitate to take them hunting after a little load development!

It was in the upper 30s, wind 10-15 quarter trailing and I was shooting fast only pausing when the mirage got too bad, again no load development.

I saved all my stringing for the 68gr load development. I was stringing vertically on some and horizontally on others. I wasn't concentrating like I should have been. Range was exceptionally busy and I was COLD!

I kept teh barrel hot to warm my hands!
